As night falls, the city of Chang'an is still lively. The east and west gates are brightly lit, the sound of silk and bamboo, and laughter are loud in the sky. Prior to this time, various commercial activities were basically unaffected.

It is also for this reason that within an hour after the night fell, the business of the major businesses was very good, especially the taverns and brothels, which were almost full, but when the time of the day approached, the shops began to close one after another, and the people on the street were also busy. There are more, most of them are in a hurry, and they have to return home before Haishi.

At this time, there is still a quarter of an hour before Haishi, which is the time when shops are closed and pedestrians rush home. There are also two men in black walking hurriedly on the street in Chang'an West City. , no one will pay attention to the two of them.

At this time, the two turned into an alley and walked forward dozens of steps. A dead lantern was hung in front of a gate in front of it, emitting orange light, and the word "Hostel" was written on the lantern.

This is a hotel hidden in an alley, but there is also such a lantern sign at the entrance of the alley, which makes it a good business. Several merchants who have just arrived in Chang'an are asking a clerk for the price at the door, and they are quickly taken away by the clerk. went in.

At this time, two men in black came to the gate and looked at the signboard on the door. The dim light made the words on the sign barely legible, and it said Wang's Hotel.

This is where they were looking for. The two men in black looked at each other and walked towards the inn together. A fat guy came out to greet him and said with a smile: "Guests, the shop is full, I'm sorry ah!"

"We don't live in the store, so we need to find someone." A man in black said coldly.

"Oh! Who are you looking for?"

"Listen, let's find a man from Hexi. His name is Li. Maybe he doesn't use this name. He is in his early 30s and has a thin body. There is only one person coming to Chang'an. Go and find him!"

The fat guy felt that the two men's tone was cold and their attitude was rude, and he was a little unhappy, so he cursed secretly: "It's so cold to ask for help, who are you!" ’ But his professional habits made the fat guy still have a smile on his face and a sincere attitude, “Are the two guests sure that he lives in a small shop?”

"We can be sure that he lives here!"

At this time, the fat man suddenly found that the two men in black had knives in their hands. He was stunned for a moment, feeling a little frightened, and hurriedly said, "I'll go check it out, the two guests are waiting!"

He turned and walked towards the lobby in a hurry, but the two men in black didn't wait, and followed him into the lobby. At this time, the shopkeeper saw that the clerk brought two people in, and couldn't help cursing: "Didn't I tell you that the restaurant is full, why not?" Are you bringing guests in again?"

"Shopkeeper, they are here to find someone!"

"Who are they looking for!"

The fat guy looked back at the two men in black, and saw their faces clearly under the light. Seeing the two men's faces were full of flesh and fierce eyes, he was even more frightened, and hurriedly said: "You can ask my shopkeeper! He knows Every guest."

After finishing speaking, he walked back with a smile, and heard two men in black asking coldly from a distance: "Let's find a man from Hexi."

The fat guy ran to the backyard in a panic, ran to a guest room, and slammed on the door, "Mr. Li! Mr. Li!"

The door creaked open, revealing a handsome face, it was a thin man, "Dude, what's the matter?"

"Outside, there are two people looking for you outside. They look fierce and hold knives."

The man was taken aback, and asked, "Is it a government servant?"

"No! It's two men in black with the same accent as you, Mr. Li, it seems that the visitors are not friendly."

This Mr. Li panicked immediately, "It's terrible, they must have come to kill me."

At this time, the shopkeeper's voice was heard from the corridor, "Two please come this way, Mr. Li lives in the last room."

The fat guy was startled, grabbed Li Gong's wrist and ran to the backyard. The fat guy pointed to the low wall in front of him and said anxiously: "Climb over the wall, the street is outside, run away!"

The fat guy felt that he had done the utmost of benevolence and righteousness. He ran to the small courtyard next to him, and disappeared in an instant. He didn't want to be implicated and slaughtered together.

Li Gong panicked, ran to the wall, and climbed up the low wall clumsily. Just as he was about to climb over the wall, a sharp dagger "swoosh!" ' shot to his left shoulder.

Li Gong screamed in pain, turned over and fell outside the wall, two men in black drew their knives and rushed towards them, jumped up the wall, saw that the man they were going to kill had already run twenty steps away, they shouted, Jump off the wall to chase.

Later, the shopkeeper was dumbfounded. It turned out that they were here to kill people!At this time, the fat guy came out of the darkness trembling all over, and said tremblingly: "Shopkeeper, you are not dead, what a fate!"

The shopkeeper was furious, and he slapped him with a slap, "You bastard, you actually threw two murderers to the old man, and the old man wants to beat you to death!"

"Shopkeeper, spare me!"

Li Gong stumbled and ran. Although his movements were clumsy and his body was thin, his desire to survive forced him to hold back his shoulder injury and run desperately. He ran a hundred steps in one breath, but he was a scholar after all, how could he run faster than the two killer assassins behind him? He was about to be overtaken by two killers behind him.

It was also because he deserved his life. At this moment, a group of patrolling soldiers came across. It was already the curfew time. The patrolling soldiers began to prepare for the night patrol. When Li Gong saw the savior, he shouted desperately: "Help! Kill me!"

The patrolling soldiers rushed up together when they heard the yelling, "Who is it?"

Seeing that the soldiers had arrived, the two men in black at the back were one step too late and couldn't kill this man, so they had to turn around and run towards the night, with several soldiers chasing after them, "Stop!"

Li Gong relaxed and fell to the ground immediately. Seeing that he was covered in blood, the leader of the village was shocked, and asked anxiously, "Who are you, and who wants to kill you?"

About a few hundred steps away from the assassination case, there is a new house covering an area of ​​[-] acres. This is Zhao Yun's mansion, which is called the General's Mansion by Chang'an people. The mansion was built only last year on the land donated by the Tao family. .

Usually Zhao Yun is not often in the mansion, only his wife Li and two sons live here, this time Han Wang Liu Jing returned to the capital, Zhao Yun also rushed back from Tongguan, and just arrived in Chang'an this afternoon.

Zhao Yun bathed and washed away the dust all the way, changed into clean clothes, and was sitting in the study to write a report for Liu Jing. At this time, the butler went to the door and reported: "General, there is a group of patrolling soldiers outside the house. It seems that there is something important to look for. General."

Zhao Yun was startled, wondering why the patrolling soldiers were looking for him, he stopped writing, stood up and said, "Go and see!"

When Zhao Yun came to the gate, he saw a group of patrolling soldiers standing under the steps, so he asked, "What do you need to ask me?"

The head of the village quickly stepped forward and bowed to salute: "General Qi, we rescued a taxi who was hunted down. He said that he had something important to ask the general, and that the general knew him."

Zhao Yun had already seen two soldiers supporting one man, who seemed to be injured, so he walked up slowly, held up a lantern to illuminate his face, looked at him, and nodded, "I'm a little familiar, where have I seen it before, who are you? "

The soldier said in a low voice, "Don't you remember me, General Zhao? I am Li, the county magistrate of Juyan County. I was in Juyan County the winter before last. The general promised to deliver a letter for me."

"It's you!" Zhao Yun suddenly remembered that he had talked with this man when he was conquering the Huns in Juyan. He took another look at this Li and saw that he was covered in blood and seriously injured. He couldn't help asking in surprise: " What the hell happened to you...?"

. . . . . . . . .

In the study room of King Han's Mansion, Liu Jing sat behind the desk and stared at his son Liu Zhi standing in front of him. Today is his second day back to Chang'an, and he has recovered from the fatigue of the journey, so he began to inquire about Chang's situation for a year.

The so-called tiger father produces a dog, this seems to be a historical decree, behind countless heroes, there is always a mediocre son, of course, this is just a matter of probability, the appearance of a hero is very rare, the old man becomes a hero , which is really rare.

Not only because of talent, but also has a great relationship with life experience and living environment.

If there were no chaos at the end of Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang and Xiao He would be no more than low-level officials, Cao Can, Fan Kui and others would be mediocre people, Xiang Yu would be a murderous thug at most, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping would be just cynical scholars, and Han Xin would be nothing but high-minded people. Fateless vagabonds, where would these heroes appear.

But the world is peaceful, and after the troubled times die out, where are their grandchildren?

Liu Jing also understands this truth, so he doesn't expect Er to surpass himself, he just hopes that Er can become a sober and promising monarch, inherit and prosper the country he created.

He has high expectations and high requirements for his son, especially in the past year or so, Liu Zhi has basically been studying government affairs at Pingzhangtai every morning, and Liu Jing also believes that he will have great changes.

But just from the appearance, Liu Zhi has also changed a lot. He is already ten years old, and his stature has grown dramatically. Maturity, this is the change in Pingzhangtai Xuezheng in more than a year.

Liu Jing saw this change, and felt really relieved.

"So, you have to go to Pingzhangtai every morning, and learn how to make Fu from the master in the afternoon, is that right?"

"Reporting to my father, it is true, and the child has to go to Pingzhangtai every day, and he has never missed a day."

"Are you going on holidays too?"

"On holidays, there is a minister on duty, and the child will also go."

Liu Jing nodded, and asked again: "But what about your time for practicing martial arts?"

Liu Zhi didn't speak for a while, he was really lacking in this aspect, he slowly lowered his head, and whispered: "Report to father, my child seldom practice martial arts."

"This is impossible. I can see that your body is not very good, and you are even a little thin. This is not a long-term solution. Starting tomorrow, you will spend an hour after getting up early to practice martial arts, contact swordsmanship, learn riding and archery, and then Go to Pingzhangtai again, and I will arrange guards to teach you."

"The child understands."

Liu Jing still wanted to test his knowledge again. At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, and then he heard his wife Tao Zhan saying outside the door: "Husband, the dragon is here, and he wants to see you."

Zhao Yun came to see him at this time, there must be something important, Liu Jing nodded, "I'll go right away!"
